Mitchell Kirk Morris

Mitchell Morris of Mallard Creek, Alabama

November 3, 1962 - October, 19, 2019

This is the story of Mitchell Kirk Morris also called Big Dog by some. Mitchell was an

unmistakably one of a kind man that is loved and will be missed deeply by his family and

friends. He was the kind of man that once you met him you wouldn’t forget him. Mitchell was

always willing to help anyone, and I mean anyone with anything. Many days he would go out

of his way even though he was sick with Congestive Heart Failure to help family, friends, or

strangers whether it was with physical labor or a homeless person needing a place to stay or

ride. He was always full of wit and could make you come to tears in laughter with his words.

He never let his sickness get in the way of life, he looked at it as a gift from God to slow down

a bit and enjoy his family and what he had worked so hard for.

Mitchell was born on November 3, 1962 and was the youngest child of Phillip and Yvonne

Thompson Morris. He was born in Starkville, Mississippi. Not long after, they moved back to

Alabama where Mitchell grew up and would be known to many and never forgotten. He had

neither an easy childhood nor life but was always a fighter until his very last breath. Mitchell

wasn’t afraid of anything or afraid to speak the truth. He did however, fear his Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ and he became a member of Wheeler Grove Baptist Church. He was the owner

of Big Dog Graphics which he started in Gulf Shores more than 25 years ago. Later he would

create his own personal ministry with the cross he and his close friends built from a 200 year

old dying cedar tree which he called “The Mallard Creek Cross” in his back yard. Each Easter

he and his faithful friend Herbert Anders would go and hand out the dvds he created and

produced of the cross. It can be viewed at www.mallardcreekcross.com.

Loved ones that cleared the path for Mitchell are his son Dustin Kirk Morris, infant son Masun

Phillip Morris, his parents, and brother Greg Morris. Also his grandparents and a host of

uncles, aunts and family.

Loved ones that will miss Mitchell until they meet again are his wife and soulmate of 29 years

Robbie Morris, son and daughter-in-law, Drew and Sarah Morris, daughters Keeley & Lily

Morris, grandson Atlas Morris, sister and brother-in-law Lisa and Dewayne Little and sister

Benita Brantley.
